THE DRIFT OF THE TIDE.-''Thcre is a

the flood, leads on to fortune" This mem
orable quotation Of the immortal Bard of

penned than now, and the drift of our re-
marks here is to show the aptness Of it. TO
illustrate Catching on to the inSpira-
ton that actuates every wide-awake mer-
chant when he sees his stock inadequate to
the demands of his large and growing pat
ronage, Nj. \. R. Angela the popular

effort has been made to secure the best,
most practical, as we'll as the most ecOnOm-
ical in price, Of every article in his line.
In fine shoes for ladies and gentlemen this
season Mr.. Angela has fairly outdone all
former efforts. His selections have been
made with a special eye to pleasing the
taste of the most fastidi0us; while in the
line of hats his stock is both elegant and
extensive. \ nice hat and comfortable
well-ftting pair of shoes are articles no
gentleman can afford to despise. If they
are we'll made, of good material, and their
makeup and fit show the handiwork of an
adept, they are sure to be pleasing to the

Anglca is displaying commendable enter
prise blended with spirit of business
Judgment ard obliging disposition. He
not only caters to a large and growing
trade by supplying tirst-class goods which
will suit the most eXacting fancy, but at

GONG TO CLOSE BUSINESS.-As will be
seen by advertisement in this issue Mr.. NJ.
Elkan is going to close business here and
leave US. The GOLD LEAF does not eX-
press its sentiments alone when we say that
we shall regret to lose so valuable citi-
zen from our midst. During the time Mr..
ElEan has been among us his fine business
capacity, his rectitude, capital, and social
qualities, have made hiIn many friends.
While we shall part with him and his fam
lily reluctantly we are gratitied to know,
that Notwithstanding the hard times we
have had, his business has always pros
pered-that he has succeeded when SO many
others have failed-that he does not leave
Us because he has not made money and
friends here, but because our sphere is too
small for his capabilities.
No firm has higher reputation for fair
dealing, unpretentious worth and solid bar
gains The stock MI. Elkan carries is va
ried in its assortment, elegant in its make
up and expensive in its naturG-a credit to
the proprietor and to the town. His aim
has always been to give the best class OF
goods for the money ana how we'll he has
succeeded his popularity and steadily
growing trade testify. People who know
Mr.. Elkan know that when they deal with
him they may always be assured that their
purchases are just what they have been
represented TO be and that their price is as
low as can be found in any legitimate and
| honest trade. The ''TemplG Of Fancy has

TO which the ladies turn when they are

PROPOSE TO LEAD

With the GREATEST VALUES
FOR THE LEAST MONEY. The
masses have suffered long and fear
fully from the disastrous results of
the credit system suffered until it
is asking nearly every other days
labor, or every other hill of tobacco,
or corn. or cotton grown to meet its
exactions. The credit system is a
bad system it is all hope deferred.
The merchant does not want il for
he knows its sleepless nights and
heartrending exactions, especially if
he has tried it as the writer of
this has. He knows that the
merchant who sells goods on time
is an object of pity as rule for
by reason of those who cannot
pay, and those who will not, he is
forced to charge those who do pay
such exhorbitant rates that he is
ashamed Of it himself. Bat some
body must pay the losses by this
Credit System, or the merchant fails.
Be sure Of that, you who pay.
Now whether we sell you a dol

of the credit system-take the side
Of the Almighty Dollar; it is the
only safe, certain side TO stand on.

that all regular lines Of merchandise

RAISE FINE TOBACCO!
No Other Pays !!

Every planter knows it does not pay to raise
common tobacco the mari cts of the world
are overstocked and there is not demand
for it. 1t should be the aim of every one
then to raise fine tobacco and no efforts
should be spared to that end. The stock Of
bright and fine tobaccos, are not to be had
ont of present crop to supply one-half of the
demand; consequently many manufacturers
are using substitutes for our bright tobacco.
SO this will be the year for our people to
make an extra effort to raise a fine crop,
and in order to do this successfully, they
must plant their finest lands, prepare and
manure it we'll, and use !judiciously the very
best Tobacco Fertilizers they can get.
For the past fifteen years no Fertilizer has
been sold upon this market that has given
such iiatterng results and made half as
much fine tobacco as Ober's Special tobacco
Compound. 1t has stood the test year in
and year out, wet or dry, and never disap-
points you. A large supply on hand.

SOME OLD PERsONs.-it is hard to tell
how old some people live to be in this sec
ton; the difficulty is folks don't much like
to tel their age, but now and then there is
an exception and the GOLD LEAF has heard
Of two or three that are worthy of note :
Perhaps the Oldest person living in the
county is Tom Bullock, cOlored, who at the
age of 1906 years is still hale and hearty at
his home near Amos mill. He was mar
ried the second time at 30 and has been
married IS years last February. His wife
is still living and She is said to be close on
to 100 years old.
Another very old person is Mrs. Sallie
Newman who lives with Mr.. W. &. Filing
ton, a relation of hers, on the road between
Enterprise and RidgeWay, just across the
line in Warren county. She is 1913 years
old. Her father was 80 and her mother 50
years old when they died. Mrs. Newman
has been an invalid for some years, but IS
said to be bright and cheerful, and in the
possession OF her mental faculties to re-
markable degree.
